I bisected it down to this interval in linux-4.14.y: 2feb36e arm64: kpti: Add ->enable callback to remap swapper using nG mappings ee28fed arm64: mm: Permit transitioning from Global to Non-Global without BBM 6928820 arm64: kpti: Make use of nG dependent on arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() c98c8c2 arm64: Turn on KPTI only on CPUs that need it c98c8c2 is good, 2feb36e is bad - couldn't bisect in between, since it didn't boot there. And yes, when i tested 2feb36e i applied the "el1 trashing fix" mentioned here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg636489.html Anything else i can do to help debug this? -- bye, p.
